The Pig Nose Turtle (Carettochelys insculpta) is unlike any other freshwater turtle — its fleshy, pig-like snout is designed to sift through sand for insects and worms. Gentle, curious, and surprisingly social, it often swims to the glass when you approach. Requires a 120+ gallon tank with deep water, soft sandy substrate, and strong filtration. Needs warm water (80–86°F) and a basking area. We breed ours in large, planted ponds with live food cultures to encourage natural behavior. A rare, long-lived species (30+ years) — perfect for dedicated keepers seeking a true aquatic companion.
